The most fun place! The Eggs Benedict were among the best I've ever put in my face, and the atmosphere is just the best. Convenient to many hotels. A little spendy but they don't skimp on food or cocktails. LBGTQ+ friendly. 24 hours. Equally a home for chill or fancy.

Music was a little loud while having a conversation, but over all I enjoyed my time and will probably be back.

We had the only table aside from a couple sitting at the counter. Our party had a 2 year old and a 5 year old. As you can expect they wanted food asap, service was extremely slow with no apparent reason other than the staff chatting with each other. Really dissatisfied considering the aesthetics of exterior of the building itself.

I had made reservations thru open table , when I called them to confirm they told me they didn't have my reservation and said they don't take reservations thru open table . Not sure what happen was very upset . I was not able to cancel this reservation thru your app . I hope this doesn't affect my statues with open table , which I do use a lot

I made a reservation two days in advance for a business lunch. We had business at the convention center, so this seemd like a sensible spot. And unlike other restuarants in the immediate area, I was able to book a table online. When we arrived, we were told "we did not have a reservation." When I noted I had made a reservation online and pulled up the info, I was told "our reservation tablet doesnt even work." If you have a reservation, I would call to ensure it is honored lol. We were lucky, and only had to wait 5-10 minutes, but this could have been bad. Will not be scheduling business lunches here again.

What can I say, Nicolette Dinner delivered!
This was my first time stopping in and the experience was wonderful. The music was great, the food was good, the drinks were top notch and the customer service was even better! If I had to summarize this place in one word, it would be Supurb.

Check it out for yourself!

Alright, I love the place. Bomb atmosphere, bomb service, bomb food, awesome game and movie nights. Only reason I'm only giving it 3 stars is because it is so dam expensive for basically basic food. It's good, but it's basic.

Used to be better. Servers still awesome. But place now has raised prices by 50 percent and is cutting some corners. Example. French toast listed on menu as side order is 2 pieces. Used to get good amount for 5 dollars. See picture here. Now get one piece. For 7 dollars! 7 bucks for one slice of dipped bread. Egg used to be a buck. Now is 2.50 and get a smaller egg. See pic. Another example is soda. No longer carry name brand. Serving a local type never heard of that tastes like raw syrup. And almost half the menu items now have stickers over them saying not available but "coming soon". I'm not sure this place is going to survive much longer. It's too bad. Used to be solid.

First time I've ever walked out of a restaurant, been coming here for 4 years but this was the last time. My friend and I came in around 12 yesterday since Nicollet is one of the only places open on Christmas day. We walked in and were greeted by a waiter who gave us a weird long stare and told us we should go upstairs to sit (the bottom floor was not crazy busy, I would say 60% full) and walked away. We went, the top floor was absolutely empty except for 2 other diners coming down the stairs who we put together later were also leaving without being served. We waited in an empty room for 10 minutes without anyone saying a word to us. It was super weird and we just decided to leave. Looked for someone working there to say why we were leaving on the way out and there was no one.

Last time we went a different waiter rushed us out of the restaurant as soon as he took our plates athough there was hardly any other customers.

We did end up getting delivery so we'd actually get service and the chocolate milkshake I got had rotting cherries in it (tasted like they had been soaked in alcohol) and so little chocolate it was still white. This was like a $10 drink..

Anyway, I remember a time when the Nicollet was still on the corner and service was great, warm, a more diverse crowd and the burgers were only $14 as opposed to $20 plus fees. They sold out hard and use queer aesthetics instead of serving queer customers, leaves a bad taste in my mouth quite literally. Some food is still good but with the prices and treatment combined it would take a lot to want to return.
